Hi,

I've posted a new Data Brewery blog post about stream basics - how to create streams in different ways:


Contents:

* ways of running streams
* command line 'pipe' and 'run'
* higher order messaging construction and basic (raw) construction

Some future streaming thoughts are included at the end.

Enjoy,

I'm working through the blog post using a csv file supplied by my client.  Sorry about the long stack trace, but here's what happens:

It thinks it is working with ASCII data and it is not. Not sure how to
deal with this, please stand by:)

I would like to work with brewery, but I'm still stuck on this problem of it choking on my CSV file due to ascii characters.   Funny thing is, it doesn't happen with bubbles with the same file.

Solution was simple:  

When opening a file, add encoding="UTF8" parameter:

    URL = "projects.csv"

    b = brewery.create_builder()
    b.csv_source(URL,encoding="UTF8")
    ....
